About Campbell Paterson

Our founder, Campbell Paterson, entered the business of philately in 1941 when he joined the well-established firm of Pim & Company in Auckland. “CP” as he came to be known throughout the philatelic world had worked in the Auckland Savings Bank but had found that deteriorating hearing had made advancement in banking an impossibility. Although he volunteered for service in World War II, this impediment prevented him from serving in the Forces as well.
